Yasmin convinced me to read this. She is right. It is funny. And not a total slam as replies suggest. The bread and futter (fake butter) and cocktails sound great. But if you crack a beet with a hammer at my table, I get to laugh.
$335 though. Y’all tripping.
I don’t want futter if I’m paying $335. Not even in Manhattan.
Futter AND beets as a main course for $335?!!

“energy” makes another appearance. It’s up there with “frequency” on the multiracial woo-woo list of tells.
energy, frequency, vibe. Are all rich people hippies or does something about celebrity require this language?
Who is the expert on this? Maybe someone in cultural anthropology? Someone who studies the language of…the new California ideology as celebrity cultish? I don’t know what to call it but they would know.

If there was a Tupac and Selena picture it would already be on the official flag of a splinter state of Texas.
When that level of two subculture icons from RIP-art loving cultures merge it creates a supernova event that creates a new cultural geography with attendant changes to geopolitics.
The spray painted El Caminos alone would have destabilized the Americas.

Passive aggression is the glue that binds white people to whiteness
Passive aggression is how you learn to enact the domination of structural whiteness in your everyday life. It becomes the religion, the market, the rituals - everything.
I should be writing lol

At least once a week. I think about it at least once a week.
In the most obscure aside, one of you recommended this book to me ages ago. You’ll see the ideas again in a future something. But in my personal reflections, there is an intersection of consuming the racial other & the power of eating the cute hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?is…
My working theory is: The aggression that “cute” evokes (guilty here; I eat babies but that’s irrelevant) merges with the desire to consume blackness in a way that makes white people —women especially because white women gatekeep cute —raging cannibals when they engage with me.

I started a little indie show called The Crown. You probably haven’t heard of it. These people are horrible.
I will say that one good thing about being royal is somebody packs your luggage for you. So there’s that.
This is too many rules and everybody is so racist.

I spent the morning explaining the Applebee’s song to Vivian.

“Is this what they call influencing?! Am I influenced??
“I’m confused. Did he make the song FOR Applebee’s or does he really take his girlfriend to Applebee’s.”
“I like the dance. I’m going to learn it. I can’t look any crazier than he does!”
